Yu

Yudenich, N. N. (1875-1933)

Tsarist general who in 1920 organized an offensive against
Petrograd with Allied aid. At the beginning Lenin and the majority of
the Central Committee favoured evacuating the city, but on the
intervention of Trotsky, supported by Zinoviev and Stalin, the
decision was finally made to defend Petrograd at all costs. Trotsky
personally directed the counter-attack which dealt Yudenich a crushing defeat.
